Last year the journal had brief editorial
concerning the decoration Oh Memorial Day of
graves other than of those who rave their lives
for the Union. and suggesting that the latter
should receive all the floral offerings on The
day set apart TO honor their memories. The
article has been revived this year by num-

by the Calais Times of May 2Glh to head its
editorial columns. We are glad the matter

ed from Capt Carter giving further particulars
lie says the accident took place at $50 p. NJ on the
oath ult. twas foggy at the time. The schoone,
was bound in, the steamer going out, and they came
together head on. The steamer, a side wheel boat
of 1900 TOMS struck the schooner the starboar,
bow just aft the knight heads, crushing in the bow
breaking in the forward deck and taking away the
starboard anchor and fifteen f;ithoms of chain, with
the windlass and everything forward. The steam
er's wheel then rolled along over the vessels rail
as far as the main mast cutting away both fore and
main rigging. The fore and mainmast went by the
board, carrying with them the mzzenmast. Capt
Carter says: "In two minutes there was not a spar
sail, block or rigging on board" and that it was
the worst wreck he ever saw. The deck was swept
as clean as a house floor. The Penobscot although
badly damaged above water, did not leak The
Wyanokc was also damaged to some extent and re
turned to port for repairs. The steamer denies all
liability in the NATTER but the owners of the Penob
scot will institute suit to recover damages The
steamer is owned by the Old Dominion Steamship
Company. Mr.. Edward Sibley has gone to New
York to look after the owners interest He will
probably repair the vessel sufficiently to take a
cargo of coal and have her lowed to Belfast 70,
permanent repairs The spars can be bought a,
New York or Boston cheaper than they can be made
here. The spars, sails and rigging of the Penob
scot were picked up and lowed into Sandy Hook
The New York Herald gives the other side of the
story, as follows:
The schooner was on the starboard tack and I'm
der all SAIL according to the officers of the VIVIAN
oke The steamer left her pier at the foot Of Bench
street at three O'Clock Tuesday afternoon and after
passing Sandy Hook huge fog bank appeared
into which the Wyanoke plunged. The first seen
of tho schooner was when she was only one poin,
away on the starbOard bow. Captain Hulphurs
saw that the only way to avoid collision was tu
keep straight ahead. The engines were then nj
half speed and the fog whistle constantly blowing
The huge starboard wheel Of the Wyanoke struck
the PenobscOt's forecastle, and as the steamer
forged ahead the schooners decks rakeil clear
Of everything. Spars, rigging, jib-boom, all went
by the board At the request Of Captain Carter the
Wyanoke remained by the disabled schooner ali
night and lowed her up to port The Wyanoke re-
turned to her dock and her passengers and cargo
were transferred to the steamer Seneca The
Wyanoke will go on the dry dock. Chief Officer
Leland, of the Wyanokc, was struck by flying
spintcrs and slightly injured. Frank Henson, 4
sailor on the schooner, was also slightly hurt. The
others escaped uninjured. The Wyanokc also ran
Into the steamer Welcome Il. Beebe and carried
away all her fore rigging, besides doing other slight
damage.

destroy the lives Of several hundred persons.
Nor can this poison be destroyed by burning as

my wife could not sleep till late hour, and rose
nervous and unrefreshed from its effects. Yet
this is a free country! Free for men to impose

railway managers to pay large sums Of
money to secure legislation, he finally &C
knOwledged the expenditure Of over
100000 by his company between
1874 and 1885 for ''legal, miscellaneous
and general purposes" He has admit
ted that the company has regularly
maintained an agent at Washington
who has been paid from $4,000 TO
$50 600 year for his services in sex
planning things,' and it further ap-
pears that no vouchers were asked or
given. It appears that in the year ~
one of these agents at Washington re-
